Entering Round 5, some NRL clubs are set to receive significant boosts to their team, while others have lost key players as they look to clinch the two points.
Some big additions this week include Cameron Munster, Alex Twal and Jahrome Hughes, while the losses are headlined by Jacob Preston and Luke Metcalf.

The Melbourne Storm will receive a massive boost against the Broncos, with Craig Bellamy set to welcome back four star players.
Cameron Munster (groin) and Jahrome Hughes (suspension) have returned to the team and will play together in the halves for the first time this season.
Joe Chan (hand), Reimis Smith (ribs) and Christian Welch (concussion) will also be available for selection after spending time in the casualty ward.
Nelson Asofa-Solomona's future is still clouded in uncertainty and may return to the NRL but is likely to spend another week in the QLD Cup.

The Brisbane Broncos are still without the trio of Payne Haas, Brendan Piakura and Reece Walsh as they look to continue their winning ways.

Rookie Benjamin Te Kura is pushing for a spot on the interchang bench and so is veteran Martin Taupau.

Sandon Smith will be available for selection and will battle it out with Connor Watson for the utility spot on the interchange bench - Trent Robinson may decide to choose both players but is unlikely to.

O'Brien also has a difficult task regarding his halves and whether or not to recall Jackson Hastings back into the team at the expense of either Tyson Gamble or Jack Cogger.
The Daily Telegraph understands that Hastings will be recalled back into the team in favour of Tyson Gamble.

After claiming their second win of the season last week against the Manly Sea Eagles, the Dragons will be looking to continue their good form going into this week.
Shane Flanagan will name the same team that played last weekend after sustaining no injuries. However, Jack De Belin and Raymond Faitala-Mariner are both contending for the starting lock position.

In other big news, the club are forced into changing their halves after Luke Metcalf (ankle) sustained an injury against the Knights, which could see him on the sidelines for a while.
Dylan Walker was a late withdrawal in Round 4 but is likely to return back to the team. If he is unavailable Jazz Tevaga will retain his spot on the interchange bench.

The Tigers will have to replace youngster Lachlan Galvin as he faces two weeks on the sidelines for a hip-drop tackle against Kelma Tuilagi. Jayden Sullivan is his likely replacement, but the club also has Latu Fainu waiting in the wings.
According to The Sydney Morning Herald, the club will unleash promising young gun Latu Fainu this weekend after he was told that he will make his NRL debut against The Dolphins.
While he has been told he will make his debut, it is unknown at this stage if he will start in the number six jersey or will be coming off the interchange bench.
